Roman Fraden: Back in the Closet
American figure skating champion turned comedian Roman Fraden invites you to take a cosmic journey Back in the Closet - his uproarious personal odyssey through motel rooms with Tonya Harding, catastrophic Grindr hookups, and the deeply upsetting story behind why Sting once called him 'the pussy of a plant'. Incredibly revealing stand-up and outrageous physical comedy weave together into a master takedown of modern life.
